Korean News Anchor Jang Mi-il

MBC news anchor and reporter Jang Mi-il has probably been the most searched-for and viewed TV news personality, over the past couple of years by Korean "netizens."

A graduate of the prestigious Ewha Womans University with a degree in English Literature, Mi-il joined MBC in 2003, where she has since made quite a name for herself and has earned recognition from fans and peers, alike....and not just for her wardrobe.

At the start of this clip, you can see how quickly the seemingly surprised look on her face turns to one of earnestness right as she hits her mark....just two seconds after she's on the air.


A particularly enjoyable and popular clip of Mi-il (that needs to be viewed in its entirety and does not require an understanding of Korean to be fully appreciated) delivering the fairly mundane morning headlines alongside her co-anchor, Kim Byung-hun. If you listen closely at the end, you can hear her thoughtfully asking herself some rhetorical questions for her own consideration, while moving off camera as Kim handles the opening story.

I like pic #6 ... oh wait. Er, nice pronunciation!

I've always liked her. Good post, CEC.

Lol at the last video, the little "어떻게요?" towards the end there. Translation "what do I do?"

So cute.

Pretty cute Anchor Lady.. ;)

I always new Koreans were robots, at least the males. He didn't even crack up.

not bad for a news woman

I can't stop watching that last video...

Last vid clip is funny. The station/network needs to cut a check to a nice gay designer & jazz the set up.Additionally...why is his seat a coupla' inches forward of hers? My eyes are not playing with me.Lose the table mics.too.This 'aint Sunday night bingo.Anchor boy could stand to take an improv class or two.
Jang is flawless.
